Hatched today.

Terry was right .. The female of this pair started sitting on eggs on the 1st of April and today 1st May 8 Goslings hatched! This is the biggest brood we've had off them in the last 7 yrs as it's normally only 5 or 6! I just hope the parents keep them all safe from prediters, as the Mallard are disappearing daily! Nature can be so cruel!
